8.05 The Focus Attenuation (Oct 13)

Promo photos for 8.05.

Synopsis:
Amy and Bernadette accuse Penny of being a “buzzkill” after she gets an email from work during their Vegas weekend. Meanwhile, the guys try to invent something cool, but only come up with new ways to procrastinate.






Wow Kaley you are incredible! *heads to the gym*



Shut your mouth Parsons





I wonder if the guys are going to FAIL again



Size of them cocktails

I'm very pleased they have stopped BOOSTING Melissa's chest. She looks great without those comedy breasts they usually have her wear.

Oh, of course they're going to fail, and be stupid, lazy, and incompetent. Because that's how you earn an advanced degree, become a professional scientist, and get hired at Cal-Tech. By not having any work ethic.

Can we just call these guys Homer Simpson and be done with it?

I swear, even the title of this episode offends me.

Also, yet another ep where the guys and girls are separated. One wonders why they don't just give A and B their own separate show; that would solve everything...

This feels like the 50th separated episode. TPTB love this as it's another tool to separate Sheldon and Penny. There is no winning for Penny with Bernie and Amy no matter what she does. Great point about the guys failing Louise. These episodes get worse and worse.

If these couples are so great, then why do they keep having episodes with a separate "girl plot" and "guy plot"?

They're pandering to the part of the audience that wants stereotypical girly themes (gossiping, shopping), while trying to keep the attention of those who still want to watch the guys do science.

I'm not kidding when I say they should've created a new show, if they wanted to attract the "Sex and the City" crowd, instead of shoehorning those themes into their quirky little show about nerds.

How come these female scientists have no interest in science, or when they do, it's something sinister and malevolent? (diseases, animal abuse...)

I really do not believe that Penny would hang out with these two, let alone spend 24/7 with them.

If B. is Penny's friend from the CCF, how come we didn't hear about her for two and a half years? It's all so contrived.

No one does! These three were shoehorned together with a sledgehammer.

I will need some cocktails that size, just to tolerate this show. Looks so yummy and good!

Raj: "Okay, here's the plan: Penny is taking Amy and Bernadette to Vegas. She'll lure them into the desert, and they will "vanish." Haven't you guys ever watched "Goodfellas" or "Casino"? Now, everyone swear a vow of secrecy..."

I guess that is Amy's Cocktail Sweater vest because it has lace appliques. Where are They/She finding these clothes?

I liked this one. Some of the guys scenes were actually okay. Loved the Back to the future past/future tense scene, it was reminiscent of the old days.

The girl scenes were pretty sub-standard in comparison, they don't do very convincing drunk-acting. But Penny looked smashing! and there was NO canon bullshit so I give this a blossom.
